Off as in, he stopped giving a shit. He doesn't look, sound or act like Kor. There's no Kor core to grab on to that makes him connected to TOS beyond the name.

I think that's unfair. Kirk's death was very heroic. He'd just nearly fallen off the bridge to his death, only barely gotten off it alive, but he unhesitatingly went back out onto the bridge that had just almost killed him, because he still had a job to do and people to protect. That's profoundly heroic and profoundly in character, but in such a casual, matter-of-fact way that people tend to overlook it.
FWIW, that's exactly the way I feel about the Picard we see in season 1 of Picard.
And Kirk left an eternity in paradise to save 230 million people who will never know he even existed.
That’s pretty fucking heroic.
The bridge thing doesn’t matter.
That’s what really happened.
Kirk's death is fine, save for the bridge falling. Show an explosion, Picard has to follow up on the mission, then finds Kirk.
Boom. Scene is so much better.

Why would Kirk com back as a fat old man?
I don't think he did.
But every time he came back as a version of himself younger, smarter and faster, he failed, and everyone died, or got eaten by the Nexus.
